depending on your setup, you could use it as a road bike or a mountain bike.

Yes it is, but be warned, the customer service with this company is terrible! I bought this basket about a year ago and it didn't fit my wife's Electra Townie so we attempted to contact the company. Well, after about a week with no response I decided to take the bike, and basket, to a local bike shop. Within 20 minutes...it was mounted. Funny thing, about a week after that the company finally sent me an email saying that "they were on vacation" and hadn't had a chance to respond...for two week! Unacceptable customer service as far as I'm concerned. I will never buy from them again nor to I recommend anyone else. Yes it is, but be warned, the customer service with this company is terrible!

This Performance brand uses caliper brakes (used on road bikes), while the Vilano Hybrid uses the much better, linear pull brakes (used on hybrids and mountain bikes). This Performance bike wont allow for a linear brake upgrade. But you can get the expensive dual-pivot caliper brakes that can match the performance of linear pull brakes.

The frame is steel. The bike, itself, and the spin wheel are solidly made. Once you carry the bike in you'll realize it. The bike is very heavy.

Don't have the information on me but its a great bike I got it for my son and I think I will get one for my self

this is an aluminum frame, which is lighter than huffys or other department store bikes, it is as good as you can get in this type of bike, it will cruise on street or sidewalk, criss crossing grass areas, and the tires are very efficient, and I get compliments on the bike daily!

This bike mostly has the same cheap components as the one I bought. The frame is similar but slightly different. It looks like this bike has better trigger shifters and a better rear deraileur. If so, it may be worth the difference in price. If you live near a large university and you can hold off until May or June, there are good deals to be had from students selling their bikes at the end of the school year.

I would go with a "Tri Bike" They are set up differently than a standard road bike.

Not to my knowledge.....different models may be different sizes but this particular bike only comes in the one size. The whole idea is that it is compact....however, the handle bars and seat accommodate almost every size. This is a great bike. It is built solid and rides like a dream.....it is geared so well that you forget you're on a folding bike with smaller than usual tires. I took mine to the local bicycle shop for the minor assembly that was needed but if you're handy and knowledgeable about bikes there's no reason you couldn't do it yourself. Bottom line: I love my bike! It performs as well as the top of the line Trek it replaced and I've not had one moment of regret!

I ordered two of these bikes for my twins birthday last April (one green and one purple) I can't remember for sure, but I think there is a something on the box that says bike. To be sure I would contact the company and ask. I had to contact them and asked a question about shipping and they got back to me the same day. They have excellent customer service. Also this bike is great!!! We took it to our local high end bike store to get a flat tire fixed. All the workers had to come over and check it out. They said they have never seen this brand and were HIGHLY impressed with the quality of all the parts on the bike. They also kept telling my son how cool it was.

Deborah-my bike is a "Roadmaster"-I purchased it from Walmart. So I can't say for sure about yours.

You're riding on street right? I would assume since you're looking for a road bike. I owned one for awhile. When I first got it, the rim was bent, contacted amazon, the shipped a new bike out and told me to take what I needed and ship it back. If you're tall, it may be a little to small. I'm 5ft 11 and it was fine for me. The only issue is the pedals are kinda low, so if you take a sharp turn and your foot is extended all the way your pedal will hit the asphalt. If I were you, I would save up extra $$ and get a better bike. It's a decent bike but you spend a few hundred more and get a lot better bike.

This bike to me is an authentic road bike even though the price is relatively low compared to some others. It is lightweight and I heard that the same company that made the frame for this bike, also makes the same frame for much more expensive road bikes. You can learn how to put it together from a you tube video that someone posted. If I did it I think most people can also.

Both are specification related questions which you can easily find on its website. What I can tell you it's a BMW of bike. Very good bike to own. I am very happy with the decision.
